Why no movie maker in windows 7?

Why have microsoft done this? ok you get an option when you install msn for a stripped down movie maker which is poor.

The moviemaker in vista was pretty good.

Any way to get vista moviemaker on win 7?

Yes ive tried that, its pretty poor though compared to vista one.

I read somewhere if you copy the moviemaker folder from vista to win7 that works, il have to have go.
